My first visit to the Big Apple and this is the view from the window of my hotel room on 57th Street. Way more interesting than I expected. It’s like finding a hidden city underneath the glass towers, honking horns and crowds.
I glimpsed someone across the way cleaning up their dinner dishes one evening, then I knew I might never know New York.
Visually Speaking 
Hi – were you by any chance staying on the 17th floor of the Salisbury Hotel, 123 W. 57th? This looks like the view from our room on the 17th floor. We were there about a month ago in mid-August. Great location. Great city! Thanks for subscribing to my McLuhan galaxy blog……AlexK
Indeed Alex it IS from our room at the Salisbury Hotel; however, we were on the 12th Floor. Looks like we might have missed you by about a week.
What an interesting coincidence particularly when I read the McLuhan quotes in your blog post: http://mcluhangalaxy.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/the-railroad%e2%80%99s-%e2%80%9cgreen-pasture%e2%80%9d-new-media/
We really liked the hotel and of course enjoyed the city. Thanks for your comment.
